Carried, Wormwood protects not only against bewitchment, but also from the bite of sea serpents. Also, according to ancient traditions, it counteracts the effects of poisoning by Hemlock and Toadstools, but you should not rely on this measure. Hung from the rear view mirror, Wormwood protects vehicles from accidents on treacherous roads.

Wormwood is also sometimes used in love infusions, probably because it was once made into an alcoholic beverage called Absinthe. The highly addictive and dangerous liqueur is now outlawed or banned in many countries, but the reputation lingers and Wormwood is still used in love mixtures. One such use is to place it under the bed to draw a loved one.

Wormwood is also burned to summon spirits. It is sometimes mixed with Sandalwood for this purpose. If burned in graveyards, the spirits of the dead will rise and speak, according to old grimoires.

To make an oil that will help attract the attention of others, mix together twenty drops of synthetic
musk, two drops of jasmine, and one drop of ylang ylang in a small bottle and leave where the
full moonlight can strike it for three nights. Be sure to bring it inside before the Sun can find it.
Meanwhile, leave a rose petal, a small piece of crystal quartz, and 1/8teaspoon of powdered
cinnamon in a place where the Sun can see them, making sure to move them before moonlight
can strike them. On the forth day, mix together the two sets of ingredients and leave in a dark

amber oil for the rose oil in order to attract a woman.

ATTRACTION OIL
--seven drops rose oil Seven drops sandalwood oil One clove Seven drops lavender
--Seven times that measure of sweet almond oil

GODDESS OIL
1/2 teaspoon dried yarrow 1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil
1 teaspoon powdered myrrh 3 drops rose oil

PROTECTION OIL
To make a personal protection oil blend together the oils of rosemary, rose geranium, and
cypress. This oil is also used to anoint candles and is added to protective cleansing baths.

HANDFASTING OIL
A Handfasting is a Witch's wedding ceremony. This oil how ever, can be used by any couple,
regardless of their marital status! It is one of the few magical oils that contains a dried herb
mixed in with the essences. This is often given to Witch couples on the eve of their Handfasting.
The formula:
Gardenia: for peace and harmony
Musk: for passion and courage
Jasmine: for continuing love
Rose Geranium: for protection against adversity.
Blend together (using the eyedropper, a drop at a time) until the scent
seems perfect. Make up two ounces or so. Then add one pinch dried yarrow.
Yarrow is used in love and marriage spells since it has the power to keep a couple together for
7 years. Seven is the number of Venus, the planet of love. When finished, pour into twin crystal jars.
One of these is given to the woman, the other to the man. Every night the couple should anoint
one another, using their own jars. When seven nights have passed, the oils should be
blended together, poured into one of the jars, and the other jar should be hidden in some secret place.

SATYR OIL
A famous, controversial oil. There are several variations in the recipe, but all are very earthy
and passionate fragrances. The man who wears this should be prepared for anything!
Start with a base of musk and patchouli. Add cinnamon, carnation, and vanilla oils.
Blend and add until the scent seems right to you. Blend on Tuesday.
This oil should only be worn by men. It doesn't always smell great, but it works as an
aphrodisiac and the results can be quite amazing!

FRAGRANCE OF VENUS OIL
For women who wish to become more attractive (absolutely magnetic) to men, wear this oil.
On a Friday night blend together Jasmine, red rose, a drop of lavender (no more!), a bit of
musk, and ylang ylang oils. This oil should only be worn by women wishing to attract men.

FOUR WINDS OILS
East Wind, the wind of intelligence: Lavender
South Wind, the wind of passion and change: Musk
West Wind, the wind of love and emotions: Rose
North Wind, the wind of riches: Honeysuckle
Wear the appropriate oil when desiring a change in that area of your life.
Also wear to boost spells you may also be working.
South Wind is the catch-all; if your wish doesn't fall into any of the other
categories, use South Wind.

LOVE OIL
On a Friday evening when the Moon is waxing gather a little orris root, an earthen bowl and
a quantity of pure olive oil. If you are a woman also have a vial of jasmine oil; patchouli will do for.
Lay a pink cloth on the altar. Light pink candles. Pour the orris root into the earthen bowl,
then add about half a cup of olive oil. Stir with the forefinger of your strong hand seven times
clockwise. Now add the essential oil, no less than three drops, no more than seven.
Place the bowl on the altar. Gaze into it, infusing the oil with your desire for love.
Enchant it by saying:

MAGIC POWDERS

The Making of Powders
Powders have long been an integral part of folk magic. They consist of ground herbs which are sprinkled to release their powers. A powder is an incense never burned, a sachet never worn.
Simply grind herbs as finely as possible. To save time you can buy ground herbs, but doing so cheats you of really getting in touch with them. While mortaring the herbs, during the whole long process, visualize...imagine...see your magical goal. The power lies within herbs and within ourselves. If we don't empower powders, incense or oils, if we don't accurately "program" them with our magical goals through visualization and concentration, such mixtures will have only slight effects. If you forget the empowerment, you might as well forget the magic.

Using Magical Powders
The easiest method is to simply scatter them when and where you need their energies. Other methods are also available:
*Sprinkle the powder in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the powder's energies.
*Those who work with crystals and stones can add powders to their rituals. Sprinkle the appropriate powder around the crystal (or crystals) as it lays on the altar to increase its power.
*Sprinkle powders around candles before being burned to boost their energies.
*Scatter a ritually appropriate powder over the altar before spells.
*Sprinkle on the altar in specific shapes to use as focal points for visualization: protection powder in pentagrams; love powder in hearts; psychic powders in circles. It doesn't matter if the powder remains in the shape for long. And so on, as your imagination teaches you.
But remember-do this solely for positive purposes, to affect your possessions, yourself or others from whom you've obtained permission. All manipulative magic is negative magic and will rebound on the magician.
One note: some powders, particularly those that contain dragon's blood, will stain carpets, bed sheets, clothing and other materials. Be aware of this when sprinkling.
